Results you may expect from using ACURE Seriously Soothing Cloud Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using ACURE Seriously Soothing Cloud Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.9 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: ACURE Seriously Soothing Cloud Cream has a moisturizing rating of 6.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 9.9 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, ACURE Seriously Soothing Cloud Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ubiquinone, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ubiquinone provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that ACURE Seriously Soothing Cloud Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.
